I work with adults who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or in transition internally. Many are navigating anxiety, burnout, identity shifts, relationship challenges, or spiritual exploration. They’re often questioning old patterns and ready to rewrite the stories that have shaped them. My clients are seeking more than symptom relief - they want clarity, alignment, and meaningful personal growth.

I work from a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic perspective.
I work with men, including outdoorsmen, professionals, creatives, and young adults. Many of the clients I work with are used to being the dependable one for everyone else while leaving little space to talk honestly about themselves. You may find yourself caught in the same patterns of anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or habits that don't change, no matter how hard you try. Maybe you're navigating a divorce or carrying responsibilities that feel too difficult to handle alone. Our work together is aimed at helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself so that you can live with greater freedom and intention.

When it comes to therapy, I try to make the process as applicable as possible for the client in order to make them feel comfortable. A lot of the clients I see are working on difficult transitions in life, such as grief and loss, coping with stress from daily life, or working through their past. The clients I see are all motivated to not let their past, daily stressors, or negative habits define who they are! We will work through these issues in order to gain awareness, generate acceptance, and then take appropriate action in order to get the most out of life. I will go at your pace to allow for both comfort and development.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
